What is Styrax benzoin resin extract/Styrax benzoin resin oil?
Styrax benzoin is a perennial tree belonging to the family Styracaceae. Native to Sumatra, Indonesia, it has spread to various regions globally due to its valuable resin. This tree is notable for its thick, aromatic resin which is tapped and processed into both a resin extract and an essential oil.
Use & Benefits:
- Skin Healing: Benzoin resin is traditionally used to treat skin infections and wounds. The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties of the resin help in reducing skin irritation and promoting faster wound healing.
- Flavoring Agent: Benzoin oil is utilized as a flavoring agent in the food and beverage industry. Its sweet, vanilla-like flavor enhances the aroma and taste of culinary products.
- Cosmetic Ingredient: In cosmetic formulations, benzoin resin extract is used for its aromatic qualities. It functions as an aromatic and masking agent, helping to disguise the base odors of various cosmetic products.
- Preservative: The antimicrobial properties of compounds like benzoic acid in the resin make it an effective natural preservative in skincare products.
- Aromatherapy: Benzoin oil is also popular in aromatherapy. It is believed to have soothing effects on the mind and body, often used in diffusers and inhalers to relieve stress and anxiety.
